United directors (photo: Barbara Abbott) John Nixon has denied that he and his co-owners at Carlisle United are “blockers” to takeover. The Blues director said he and his fellow members of the Brunton Park hierarchy said it is vital to take the necessary time to find the right successors. United’s supremos last week revealed that they still hope stalled “succession” talks with Edinburgh Woollen Mill / Purepay Retail Limited can eventually see change at the top of the club. Nixon, Andrew Jenkins and Steven Pattison have formed the controlling regime since 2008. The former told a fans’ forum that, despite criticism from some fans, he and his colleagues want the right future for the club.

Carlisle United’s supporters’ trust have said they were surprised Blues co-owner John Nixon divulged so much information about “succession” talks involving Edinburgh Woollen Mill. CUOSC, who have two directors on the club’s boards, have now gone on to give more details themselves after Nixon’s remarks at last week’s fans’ forum.
Nixon told supporters about the plan which looked set to deliver top-level change at Brunton Park until Covid-19 put a halt to proceedings. The director also spoke about the “amalgamation” of shares which was under way as part of the talks.
